Thanks for that,

I was not aware.................. one has people for that kind of stuff? :D

I did, however, capitalise the JAVA did I not? so that covers all, in the eyes of a project manager, such as myself?

I do wonder why this should arise in "security news", given that all I was doing was pointing at a news item?

Unless of course....................................

lol capitalizing Java does not make it universal to both Java and JS. I am not sure why so many people thing they are the same things :-/

Errr.............

JAVA
Java
Java Script

?

Hehe you will all learn

Java = Multi-platform OOP language it can run on any platform after installing the run time environment (JRE). All the code is not compiled directly into a binary file, instead it is compiled into something can be interpreted by the JRE. Which makes java a interpreted language.

Javascript = Isn't really a programming language its more of a scripting language. It is not compiled in anyway and it is exclusively used for web pages.

Java Script was named such because when it was being released Java was picking up popularity so they named it similarly in Hopes of it picking up some of that popularity.

Can't remember where I read that... I keep putting books back on the wrong shelf and I just finished a tournament so I'm a little bit to worn to go look.
